1. A collision avoidance system, comprising:
a sensor module wherein the sensor module is positioned on an aircraft to detect obstacles and terrain likely to be encountered by a fixed wing or rotary wing platform aircraft in bad weather conditions or at a low altitude and to alert a user in advance, and the sensor module is adapted to receive position, sea level altitude, track angle and speed values of the aircraft relative to the ground,
a memory module, wherein a obstacle or terrain database is placed in the memory module,
a control unit, wherein the control unit is adapted to generate a corridor from points where the aircraft will reach on the obstacle or terrain database in the memory module using the values received from the sensor module,
wherein the control unit is adapted to expand an area of the corridor at a certain angle with respect to a track angle direction and a track angle of the aircraft and to exclude from the corridor places that cannot be reached with respect to the ground speed and track angle direction of the aircraft, and
an audible alerting system, wherein the audible alerting system is adapted to alert the user of the control unit in an event of an obstacle or terrain on the flight corridor of the aircraft.
